From Frequency58, a survey was conducted to measure the public tendency regarding the level of confidence the population has in political parties. The question selected was: How much confidence do you have in this person or institution in their work to achieve Venezuela’s welfare? The answers were classified in six categories: a lot of confidence, some confidence, little confidence, no confidence, don’t know and no answer.
With a first glance, we can see that 68% of the respondents do not trust this figure, compared to 29% who have some or a great deal of trust in them.
When we incorporate filters to the responses in terms of the generation to which responders belong, we find the following:
The prevalence of distrust is maintained in all the chosen generations, with the exception of the silent generation, who are the least distrustful with 38.7%. They are, in turn, the most trusting with 61.3%. On the other hand, Zillennials are the most distrustful of political parties with 77.4%.
When we move to the divisions by political self-definition, we observe that those who are part of the non-aligned block are the most distrustful of political parties, with 86.8%, and the least trusting, with 7.6%. Meanwhile, the followers of the ruling party are the most trusting with 72.5%, leaving the opposition in second place with less than half of those, at 30.1%.
